hot summer evening
"A" league team
young girl earnestly sings the national anthem
sweat rolling down my temples
hot dog and a soda
seats way up the first base line
late afternoon sun is relentless
our little league team parades around the field
pictures of my boy with the mascot
buy myself a beer
the home team's losing
the boy gets an autograph - visiting team, doesn't matter
chat with the other moms
dragonfly almost lands on my foot
sun sets
final score 10-0

You paint a really pretty picture with your summertime baseball poem. I can almost feel the heat of the warm sun beating down my neck and the long grass making my legs itch...thanks.
